The Cleveland Guardians will go against the Boston Red Sox in MLB action in Fenway Park, Massachusetts, on Sunday, April 30, 2023, at 1:35 PM ET.

Cleveland struggled in 2023, and its latest decline caused it to drop below .500. It’s too soon to dismiss the Guardians in a weak division, but when will they awaken?

Cleveland hits.231 (22nd), averages 3.85 runs (24th), and has a 26th-ranked.665 OPS. This year, it stole 33 bases, ranked second, and hit 15 home runs, ranking 29th.

In terms of hits (27), batting average (.273), on-base percentage (.362), home runs (3), and RBI (16), Jose Ramirez leads the team.

On Sunday afternoon, the young player Allen will get the game ball. On April 23, he faced Miami and struck out eight hitters while giving up one run on five hits over six innings.

While Cleveland waits for the recovery of injured starting pitchers Aaron Civale and Triston McKenzie, the southpaw will remain with the major league squad at least for the time being.

The total went UNDER in 9 of Cleveland’s last 11 matches.
The Cleveland Guardians are 4-8 SU in their last 12 matches.
The Guardians are 5-12 SU in their last 17 matches against Boston.

Cleveland Guardians vs Boston Red Sox Predictions 4/30/2023

Boston is already behind in the division and Wild Card competitions as of right now, sitting a game below .500 and nine games out of first place in the competitive AL East.

The Red Sox will need to be considerably more consistent if they want to escape their situation. Boston is third in terms of runs scored with 5.48 per game and hits.251 with a .754 OPS.

In 2023, they stole ten bags (28th) and hit 34 long balls (9th). RF Rafael Devers, the third baseman, tops the team in home runs (9) and RBI (24), while Alex Verdugo tops the team in hits (32) and batting average (.299).

In the season-ending episode, Boston turns to Sale. The 34-year-old is returning from a dismal outing (five runs on nine hits) against the Orioles, which was his third start this season with five or more earned runs.

The performance was particularly disappointing because the veteran was unable to build on his strong start against the Twins on April 18 (one run on three hits with 11 strikeouts in six innings).

The total went OVER in 9 of Boston’s last 12 matches.
The total hung OVER in 5 of Boston’s last 6 matches at home.
The total went OVER in 8 of Boston’s last 12 matches at home against Cleveland.

Cleveland Guardians vs Boston Red Sox. The MLB pick for this game is the Boston Red Sox.

Sale isn’t the pitcher Boston had in mind when they gave him a five-year, $145 million contract with a full guarantee, but when he isn’t on the IL, he still occasionally performs well.

Against the NL Central-leading Twins less than two weeks ago, the 34-year-old appeared reliable, striking out 11 batters in six innings.

The Guardians’ lineup isn’t as good as the Twins’ or Orioles’, yet he lost his composure in Baltimore. In addition, they have a 1-7 record in their previous eight games when facing a left-handed starter.

The left-handed Allen, who is starting on the road for the first time in the major leagues, ought to perform well against the Red Sox.

Boston has strong splits versus left-handed pitchers, going 36-17 in its previous 53 home games against them (.249 BA/.341 OBP/.401 SLG/.742 OPS).

The Sox average 5.5 runs per game at home and 6.7 runs per game during the day this season; tomorrow, back the home team to win by two or more. The Boston Red Sox will win to a predicted score of 6-4.
